The session’s inspiring content is based on the following ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s words, uttered almost one hundred years ago during His travels in North America,

“By what means can man acquire these things? How shall he obtain these merciful gifts and powers? First, through the knowledge of God. Second, through the love of God. Third, through faith. Fourth, through philanthropic deeds. Fifth, through self-sacrifice. Sixth, through severance from this world. Seventh, through sanctity and holiness. Unless he acquires these forces and attains to these requirements he will surely be deprived of the life that is eternal… he shall surely attain to second birth, be baptized by the Holy Spirit and enjoy everlasting existence.” (‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Foundations of World Unity, p. 63)
